Even when I’m not using Claude Code, most of my chatting with LLMs happens in the terminal.

I released kitcat a while back: a matplotlib backend that draws plots directly into your terminal instead of opening a GUI window.

One thing I do constantly as I read an academic paper is click citation links to see the work being referenced.

I have been using Roam Research for taking notes for years.

Last year I wrote about my simple set up for running mods CLI in a loop and turning it into a little windowed program I can invoke quickly for interacting with LLMs.

I wrote previously about vibe-coding a slide navigator into marp-cli — a thumbnail overview for the default template that lets you jump to any slide without cycling through them one by one.

On X11 I was using Polybar for my status bar and modules.

I’m a big fan of Hedinn Eiriksson’s Popping and Locking theme for VS Code — it’s the theme I use here on my website and in many other places.

One of the core FOSS principles is the freedom to study how software works and adapt it to your needs.

I’ve been slowly self-hosting more and more services on my home server.
